thing that you talked about, i understand the congressional hearings, one of the criticisms was that the people who no longer were able to have guns, will have their guns and i understand that california we have a cross-reference checking, so if there is an order of domestic violence or something, put in place, then it is matched up with if he owns a gun if the person owns a gun or not. >> right. do we have a unit that actually goes and takes the gun from them? >> what we were doing is we were having some of the frat officers do that and act in concert with our plain clothes officers on the days that we had an overlap and we did net several guns, there was a grant to actually go and do that expired and we still do it if we know about it, maybe the chief beal he was in investigations when we were acting on it. >> are you talking about frat? >> no, recovery of the guns from prohibited persons. >> yeah, the team took the lead on that.

what we would do at that time we ko call fabre and he would coordinate the list of people that were prohibited and we would every day take a time out in the schedule to go out and visit those people and recover the guns whenever possible and at one point we recovered over 250 of these guns every day and pass it out to district stages like we said earlier to make sure that all, or anyone that was prohibited in their district, the officers knew about it and then, they would be coordinated effort to go out and reach out and contact these people, and get the guns back. >> and run out now? >> it is not grant, there is no reason why we can't take a look at where we are at with the program right now and reinitiate it ourselves. >> right, i was thinking or develop some type of unit that has that responsibility and perhaps a budget if we need to. >> i was going to say, there are so many things that we are going to do when we get back to full staffing, especially now

that we initiated these efficiency plans that get us more people, but creating units is nothing something that is a luxury that i have right now. >> we actually had officers out of vrt that enjoyed that and took it upon themselves to make sure that they got that list down and paired it down, i think that we went through that list in about, seven or eight or nine months. >> but, again, it manifest itself and so we will get a fresh list and start it up again. >> that was one of criticisms that we have, not we but we have a law and some law enforcement are not talking the responsibility or the opportunity. >> commissioner that was a complete go to the fridge and get the box and we went right through the list. marshall, a couple of things. >> commissioner kingsley, and do the prevention piece, i have never looked at the department

as a that it is not their forte, i don't think that it should be, they put into place because and because they are doing their best. i think that it is the community responsibility for do the prevention piece and i think that it is the family's responsibility to do the piece. i think that as much partnership in the department and the community agencies and the community to only increase the success. and the prevention efforts. i mean, i just hear that, i always say you are asking the police to do something that we are not trained to do, what i think is their primary responsibility. >> the further that we get and get everybody in harmony on those and working in partnership we will have much more success around the prevention, when it comes to prevention, the most ideal is that the young people don't

want to carry and deal with the firearms in the first place, that is prevention, and it makes everybody safe. >> and maybe we will have more discussion on that later. >> at some point, if you don't mind, on the looking forward, the piece that is listed here, if you don't mind talking about today, because i think that what we do today is on the table and looking forward. so if you don't mind talking about that. >> sure, commissioner, and i were part of a panel with congress woman jackie spear, leader nancy pelosi, and mike the chair of the new committee to figure out what is the most practical approach to reducing guns, he is a big gun owner himself. but he spoke to the fact that assault rifles are not something, weapons of war is not something that he would be in favor of but more in controls and national registries and background checks and psych protiles and

on and on. and mayor lee, who obviously is pretty much the local leader on this kind of thing and myself, and... >> and congress woman jackie spear too. >> she has been and just took 700 guns off of a buy back of their own. and somatao county sheriff was represented and it was a great cross section of people on both sides of the issue in the crowd. some people had been victim of gun violence, i know that we have a month thougher who lost her child here with us tonight and we never have to have that happen again tonight that is what consensus is that we can figure it out and what happened in newtown, obviously took the nation's conscious by storm, we lost 45 people, people of them young people and people of color where it all too common-place. if we can figure it out and we can get rid of these, choppers and machine pens and the like,

i mean these guns came off the streets of san francisco, and an ak san francisco killed isaac espenosa and it is just way overdue and the congressman made a statement that the people that think that this is about taking their guns away, he is is wrong because we have a striker gun laws in california. in fact the national law, because these guns do travel, there were 60,000 guns sold in california last year. there is no problem getting and buying a gun if you are the right person and using it recreationally and lawfully and the whole thing, the way that these guns travel is there is no way to know that you are safe from these things if the laws are so disparaged state to state. >> i know that we are talking about the what happens in san francisco, but i think that it has been pointed out if things are not done elsewhere, is there any way that it won't matter what we do in san francisco, but the guns travel

and so you know, commissioners, i just want to say that i was very, the host of the meeting of the boys club today. i was actually very heartened by the, you know all of the people who are here from leader pelosi down to allen mire and i mean this is an opportunity for us to get a lot done in these areas. i mean i was... and the selective was a great cross section of people there. but when it was done, and you know, some of these forms can be tough, it seems like everyone left with a very optimistic about moving things forward with the president's proposals and even if folks disagree, and i will say this, i think that the selection of mike thompson is very good. because he is a gun owner and you know he started out and saying that i am for it, and so i was actually heartened by it, i don't know how you felt. >> we have a lot to do here and

whatever your policies are. but this is a moment and an opportunity because of newtown and just tell you really, not that you tug at anybody's heart strings. but a young girl who actually participated in president obama's i don't know if you heard about that, inauguration last week, she played in a band and she went back to chicago and got killed yesterday. >> so, unfortunately these things go on, but i am thinking that there is some, you know, political will to do something about it at least some of the big pieces on there, of the plans, so hopefully bright and her better days are coming. >> yeah. >> 15-year-old girl. >> yeah. >> anything further. >> thank you so much, it was an

excellent presentation. >> thank you. >> let's call item 4 b. >> item 4 b. occ's director report, review of recent activities presentation of the occ's 2013 community out reach and strategic plan and report on out reach activities. presentation of the occ's 2012 first amendment compliance audit of san francisco police department records purchase su ant to department general order 8.10. >> presentation of the occ's monthly comprehensive statistical report and companion reports for the periods of january 1, 2012, through december 31, 2012 and january, 2011, through december 31, 2011 and immediatation of the complaints in the december 26013 and adjudication of the sustained complaintses in 2012.
